Using all the colors in the box…

Life is like a box of crayons. And we are always choosing the colors we prefer.

I love the possibilities suggested by Terri Guillements, a quotations anthologist, that

• grey is cloudrainy,
• red is passion-lit,
• orange is flowerageous,
• yellow is suntastic,
• pink is lipsensual,
• blue is skyful,
• green is lifebursting,
• and purple is berrydancing!

(Aren’t her descriptions just awesome?!)

I believe it is heresy to get into the habit of calling a grey day a “colorless” day even in this sometimes grey season! Grey is a color and can be a very powerful and pleasing color.

One day may be grey like steel, and another grey like a dove’s feathers. One may seem grey like the deathly frost, and another grey like the smoke of substantial kitchens. (as described by G.K. Chesterton, author)

And as many of you may know, I believe in adding color to my life (even on grey days) by wearing some of my many colored socks!

I’d love to have you share what YOU do to add color to YOUR life!
